24/04/2019

Records were broken in syndication in the week ending April 14, with Jeopardy! contestant James Holzhauer continuing to break single-day cash-winning records and Judge Judy sitting atop syndication in the household ratings for the longest streak in 15 years.

Holzhauer, a professional sports gambler from Las Vegas, won $110, 914 on April 9 to set the single-day Jeopardy! winnings record then broke that record with a $131,137 payday on April 17.

The payoff for CBS Television Distribution's Jeopardy! was a 5% bump to a 6.4 live plus same day national Nielsen rating, and first place among the games.
